Ducks are one of those things that tend to look less fucked than
they actually are.
That one looks really fucked...

Yep those ones in Portsmouth are LARC-LX (??), I think I
remember reading that they were developed in the 50's to land a
Main Battle Tank, well anyhoo it carried shit loads.

When I was younger they used to use these to get too and from St
Michaels Mount in Marazion when the tide was in. I wonder if
this is one of those ones, being in Cornwall, although I don't
know why it would be up that way if it is!

Interesting find.
This has got me thinking, 4 or so years ago I went to a
dispersal auction for a scapyard in north east lincs, and I
think there was a dukw and one of those LARC things there or at
least a couple of things very similar.
